Rojo Johnson makes Professional Debut
Saturday, May 8th, 2010 165 viewsMinor league baseball uses a lot of promotional gimmicks to attract crowds to their ballparks. The publicity stunts range from bobble head giveaways to dollar beers nights. The Astros’ Triple-A Round Rock Express affiliate decided to allow Will Ferrell pitch. Ferrell did not disappoint.
Appearing within the 7th inning disguised as Rojo Johnson, Venezuelan pitching legend, Ferrell strutted out towards the mound with a bag of beer cans whilst wearing a fake mustache and large gold chains. Rojo threw a grand complete of 1 pitch. Naturally that pitch was thrown 5 feet behind the batter and resulted in his ejection through the game and also the batter subsequently chasing him all-around the area.

For his first televised performance since the Season Eight finale of American Idol, Adam Lambert aimed for the kind of controversy Britney Spears and Madonna are known for generating, completely stunning the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre and the millions watching the American Music Awards live on ABC with a risqué rendition of “For Your Entertainment.” Rolling Stone didn’t label Lambert the Wild Idol for nothing, and Glambert definitely delivered on his promise of a “sexy” performance as he closed the live show with simulated oral sex from a male backup dancer, a brief make-out session with his male keyboardist and a giant mirrored prop so the audience could see the looks on their own shocked faces. Rolling Stone has learned that producers weren’t informed about the guy-on-guy kiss in advance, and after the show, Lambert told RS the musician he kissed is a straight man.
